1000 NiTi Arch Wires Thermal Activated Round Natural form sizes 0.012" to 0.020"

Heat-activated NiTi (Nickel-Titanium) archwires are orthodontic wires that are soft and pliable at room temperature, making them easy to insert. Once placed in the mouth, the body heat triggers them to become active, returning to their original arch shape and applying gentle, continuous force to move teeth. 

Key Features and Benefits

• Easy Engagement: Because they are soft at room temperature, they are easier to engage into brackets, especially in cases of severe crowding.
• Light, Continuous Force: They provide consistent, gentle pressure rather than high, immediate force, increasing patient comfort and reducing the need for frequent changes.
• Shape Memory: These wires possess "memory," meaning they are designed to return to a pre-formed shape as they warm up.
• Lower Friction: Often feature a smoother surface finish, which helps teeth move more efficiently.
• Enhanced with Copper: Some, like Copper NiTi (CuNiTi), have tighter transition temperatures for more precise force, typically activating around
• Temperature Sensitivity: Can be temporarily softened further with cold water or ice to make engagement even easier.

Common Applications

• Initial leveling and aligning.
• Treating severely crowded teeth.
  
• Use with self-ligating braces.
  
• Used in both round and rectangular shapes for torque control

These wires are often referred to as "thermal active" or "thermal NiTi" wires.
